Anonymous Coward writes "Apparently, Petko D. Petkov, the security researcher and "ethical hacker" behind projects like GNUCITIZEN, as well as the discoverer of several vulnerabilities in software like Quicktime and Adobe Acrobat, has been compromised. He was scheduled to give a talk at Black Hat Las Vegas this 6th August. His e-mail communications since 2006 have been released to the public by an anonymous group self-proclaimed the "Great Council of Internet Superheros", who accuse Petkov of selling out with a tongue in cheek humor.They have mailed few mailing-lists and security industry people, advertising links to mirrors and places where the files containing Petkov's 'mailbox' can be found, in what seems to be a warning for future 'judgements'. Their text contains also a slur against jewish people and Petkov's girlfriend.

The Great Council of Internet Superheros, with help of bl4qh4t l1b3r4t10n 4rmycommandos, has condemned Petko D. Petkov to public exposure, continuous siegeand compromise of his electronic and networked assets.

Petko D. Petkov has been accused and declared guilty of several crimes againstGod, Humankind, Honor, the Queen and his Mother (wherever her grave is locatedin Poland):

01. Extreme media and press whoring.02. Flagrant behavior and lack of discretion and respect for the spirit and
tradition of hacking.03. Claiming hacker status.04. Pretending to be ethical while conducting illegal and morally questionable
behavior.05. Cheating on his anorexic, sex-starved girlfriend.06. Excessive mailbox usage and size (Note: we are superheros but we don't like
to archive 2GB mailbox files. Next time make it easier and help us by
cleaning up a bit).07. Animal cruelty (killing bugs and selling them to ZDI and iDEFENSE).08. Waste of public and Internet resources.09. Using the hacker word for self-promotion and advertisement with commercial
intent.10. Attacking and mis-using the meaning of 0-day.11. Exceeding the limit of mailing-list subscibrals and monthly post quotas set
by the Government of the Internet Chamber of Commerce and Etcetera.

The Great Council of Internet Superheros is now actively researching andinvestigating several security industry personalities for other suspectedcrimes. In the weeks and months to come, other individuals might be judged andaccused of these dispicable activities.

We will strike with greate vengeance and furious anger those who attempt toattack, discredit and offend our brothers. Using our amassed amounts ofawesomeness, super powers and truely useful 0day, there will be no singlenetworked machine capable of withstanding our acts of justice. Oh we say.Now get the mailbox files and mirror them, son......@@@@@>..@@@@@>..@@@@@>.
